Publisher's Description

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. A user-friendly summary of the essentials of Christian belief. This short systematic theology is a refreshing alternative to works on Christian doctrine that are too large or demanding for personal or group study. Paul Zahl offers a concentrated summary of the whole Christian faith in three concise, biblically correct chapters at once serious and popular, scholarly and contemporary. Arranged around twenty-five theses that cover the core Christian beliefs, the book clearly explains the person and nature of Jesus Christ, the meaning of the atonement, and the life that results from Christian freedom. Encompassing a great wealth of knowledge in a user-friendly, easy-to-follow format, A Short Systematic Theology is one of the best resources available for church, group, and personal study.

“A splendid introduction to the heart of the Christian faith—namely, the person and work of Jesus Christ. Paul Zahl is one of the most exciting theologians in the United States today. He has that rare ability to combine serious theology with the world of art and modern life. I commend this important book.”

George Carey

“A radical, challenging theology, truly systematic in the yes-and-no style of the confessing church. Paul Zahl's twenty-five theses will initiate a new discussion about the subject, content, and method of a theology deserving of the name 'Christian.' This book will help clear up the fog of religious obscurities current today.”

Jürgen Moltmann
